Johnson Level & Tool 700 Magnetic Angle Locator, Orange, 1 Locator

Great tool, no guess work.

Great design. VERY easy to read, and the contour of the edges makes it very easy to use on a lot of different surfaces. Magnets are strong enough to hold it securely. Accurate to my digital gauge, but does rely on the dial being somewhat vertical. If it is to close to horizontal, the dial will not move properly since it works on gravity.

needed to setup some angles for a project. Worked as it should, magnet had decent holding strength and easy to use. Was accurate enough for my project and gave consistent readings.

First of all, this is a fantastic product overall. Pros: Tough! I've dropped it several times on concrete and metal flooring surfaces and it didn't break completely. (It did crack on a particularly bad drop). Accurate - The manual/mechanical readout of angles is unbeatable. Nothing beats gravity. Affordable - It's made in USA and is a great price, couldn't ask for more. Cons: The dial can be a bit small when trying to get a quick reading at an odd angle. I would like a version with less detailed readings and larger print. The magnet on one edge is not flush or recessed, it sits a hair outside of the housing edge so depending on your application it may not actually sit perfectly flat on your surface. All things considered this is the best you can get for angle finders/levels.

I needed an angle indicator for an older pneumatic drill rig that lacks instrumentation. This tool can be set on the drill feed rail while positioning to set correct hole inclination/declination, and remains in place thanks to the magnet. The plastic body is good quality and the enclosed dial holds up well to oil and grease. For twelve bucks it really improves our drilling consistency.

I bought this angle finder because a very similar one that I had from 25 years ago ended up being dropped and the needle got sticky. So far so good, does not appear that quality has dropped any from the older ones as the needle is very fluid and takes a bit of time to settle on the angle number. First job I used it for was to set the forward bunks on my boat trailer. I measured the boat first and then transfer that number to the trailer. Anyway, it works very well for the price you pay. I don't know that I would use it for precision measuring but for basic mechanical and household uses it is just fine.

Works very well,well built

Works well: It just works well Ease of use: the size makes it easy to handle Size: he magnet is strong enough to hold position
